One night, when Michael was asleep, his father made his way into his room through the window. He was a scary mask, screamed and roared.

Four years later, Michael admitted that he suffered from nightmares in which he kidnapped from the bedroom. In 2003, Joseph admitted to BBC, that beat Michael when he was a child.

Invincible album

Jackson's next studio album was recorded in just six years, its release was delayed several times. Label «Sony» reluctantly agreed to invest millions of dollars in long-drawn process of recording and the subsequent promotion of the album, which ultimately led to a quarrel with the giant recording singer. «Invincible» (Invincible), released in October 2001, contained 16 tracks including the single «You Rock My World», in the movie which starred famous actors Marlon Brando and Chris Tucker. The album was mixed received by critics, but its sales figures were twice as more modest than that of «HIStory».

"This album is dedicated to Benny Germansenu. We must remember that a person can not be judged by the color of his skin but by his personal qualities. Benjamin, we love you. Rest in peace. "
